The Tony Awards had lots of surprises last night, but the most amazing one was the rap performance from the musical Music Man. Hugh Jackman, LL Cool J and T.I did a rap version of "Music Man" while Questlove and the Roots provided the beat. This is the first time anyone has performed rap at the Tony Awards, and it was a great moment.

The collaboration was top secret and surprisingly did not leak before the show. MTV reports how it all went down. Hugh was on The Tonight Show a couple of years ago and performed Music Man's opening number and at the time thought it sounded like it had a rap beat. He asked Questlove and the Roots to come up with the beat and L.L. Cool J and T.I. agreed to help him out (Hugh had never rapped before and said they carried him through the performance). It turned out to be a highlight of the evening. Hugh said LL dubbed him with the moniker Biggie Tap Shoes, which is pretty funny. Take a look:
